PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Sixth Annual High Five Conference March 4 - 5, 2019 Raleigh, North Carolina Hosted by AMA Triangle HighFiveConference.com
WHY HIGH FIVE?
High Five brings together marketers, creatives, entrepreneurs, and
dreamers for an action-packed three days of inspiration, learning, and fun.
Unlike many events, we won’t tell you High Five is for everyone. The best
partners seek to achieve the following results from their partnership:
• Demonstration of B2B technology solutions among marketing and creative
professionals in North Carolina and beyond. Past B2B partners include
Microsoft, Oracle Marketing Cloud, and inMotionNow.
• Recruiting the brightest marketing and creative talent in the Triangle for job
opportunities. Past recruiters include Windsor Circle, ChannelAdvisor,
PrecisionLender, and Healthgrades.
• Exposure of their creative products and capabilities to marketing
decision makers. Past showcase partners include Brand Fuel,
Theo Davis Printing, Zig Zibit, and Three Post.
• Knowledge from some of the leading experts in marketing and design fields.
Looking to brush up on your skills and gain an edge at work? High Five is for
you.
And at High Five, we’re transparent. We’ve had partners choose to not return,
because of budget or fit. Partners who aren’t a good fit might be looking for:
• Direct sales to consumer or business audiences.
• Exposure for specialized products with niche audiences.
• On-site product sales.
Now in its sixth year, many of our High Five partners choose to
return annually, benefiting from the unique opportunities the
conference provides. Sound like a good fit for you? Let’s dive in.

9BRAND PLACEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
In addition to the packages above, High Five offers several unique brand
placement opportunities, available as an add-on or standalone item. Each
Presenting, Major or Supporting partner receives a budget to use toward
these opportunities. You may also choose to purchase one or more of these
without a larger partnership package.
VISIBILITY OPPORTUNITIES
Hospitality Lounge // Available // $5,000
Have an exclusive, branded lounge at High Five. The hospitality lounge offers you exclu-
sive space to create your own experience inside of High Five. This is a great option if you
want to have one-on-one conversations with guests or offer up your own sponsored pro-
gramming. We’ll support you in finding a concept for your lounge and creating an experi-
ence that fits your budget and goals.
$5,000 rack price includes $1,000 budget for lounge upgrades. Additional furniture, A/V and
F&B is partner’s responsibility.
Lanyard Sponsor // Reserved // $2,000
Make sure every guest sees that your brand supports High Five by wearing your brand
around their necks. Lanyards will be co-branded with your logo and the High Five logo.
Features full-color printing on white lanyards. All costs included.
Wi-Fi Sponsorship // Available // $2,000
In our connected world, what better way to connect with each guest than to keep them
connected. High Five offers complimentary Wi-Fi to all guests via a custom username and
password. Sponsoring the Wi-Fi connection allows you to customize the username and
password, ensuring that each guest will type in your name at least once. Your logo will be
displayed each time Wi-Fi information is shared, which is typically on signage around the
event and on the back side of each name badge.
All costs included.
Graphic Recording Sponsorship // Available // $2,000
During each High Five keynote a skilled graphic recording artist creates a large-format
visual, which captures the content of the talk. Many guests enjoy watching the recording
as its created and many more take photos of it after the event. Our sponsor’s logo will
appear on all six graphic recordings alongside the High Five logo.
All costs included. Sponsor is welcome to enhance the graphic recording with their own budget
by purchasing and distributing prints and/or providing framed copies to each keynote speaker
after the event.
11BRAND PLACEMENT OPPORTUNITIES SOCIAL OPPORTUNITIES High Five Party Sponsorship // Available // $2,500 Perhaps the most happening time at High Five is during the High Five Party on Monday evening. Typically, 150-200 High Fivers join us for an evening of cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and dancing with our High Five DJ. Sponsor’s logo will appear on each drink ticket and signage. High Five covers the cost of the hors d’oeuvres, beer, wine, as well as basic signage. Sponsor is welcome to further enhance the VIP dinner experience with their own budget. Ideas include a branded mixed drink, branded serving containers, such as cups and stirrers, as well as upgrad- ed DJ, lighting or other experience. VIP Dinner Sponsorship // Available // $2,000 Looking to connect with High Five keynote speakers, sponsors and staff? Sponsoring the VIP dinner gives you access and visibility among the top fifty VIPs at High Five. This includes the opportunity to welcome guests to the VIP dinner, mix and mingle during an exclusive cocktail reception and engage in continued conversations over dinner. High Five covers the cost of the meal and cocktails, as well as basic signage. Sponsor is welcome to further enhance the VIP dinner experience with their own budget. Opening Night Cocktail Sponsorship // Reserved // $1,500 On Monday afternoon, conference guests will finish up their day of learning and enjoy a few drinks before the evening’s festivities. This is your opportunity to connect with High Five guests in an informal setting. High Five covers the cost of the beer and wine, as well as basic signage. Sponsor is welcome to further enhance the opening night cocktail experience with their own budget.
BRAND PLACEMENT OPPORTUNITIES FUEL OPPORTUNITIES Water Station Sponsorship // Reserved // $2,000 High Five offers water stations throughout the event, but in 2019 we’re planning to take them to a new level and offer branded water bottles for guests to use and take home. High Five covers the cost of the water station and branded water bottles of its choice. Sponsor may upgrade the bottle or add enhancements, such as fruit infusion, with its own budget. Coffee Sponsorship // Available // $1,500 High Five features all-day beverage service for guests, including coffee, tea and water. This basic sponsorship includes signage at each beverage station featuring your logo. High Five covers the cost of the coffee, tea, and water as well as basic signage. Sponsor is wel- come and encouraged to further enhance the coffee experience with their own budget. Ideas include branded coffee cups, artisan coffee experiences and/or on-site barista service. Power Station Sponsorship // Available // $1,000 High Five has ten power stations throughout the space, which allow several USB and elec- trical connections. At some point, everyone will need to charge up, and your brand could be the one they thank for the charge. High Five covers the cost of the charging stations and small tent signage beside each station. Sponsor is welcome to rent a larger, branded power station and/or enhance the charging expe- rience with their own budget. One idea might be to distribute fully-charged USB battery packs to guests. Lunch Voucher Sponsorship // Two Available // $750 Back for 2019, High FIve is providing each registrant with a lunch voucher redeemable at a selection of Downtown Raleigh restaurants. Your logo would be featured on the lunch voucher for one day. High Five covers all costs.

highfive@attendedevents.comEXHIBIT DESIGN
High Five is meant to be the bridge between marketers and creatives —
to achieve collaboration. Typically, these professions use two different
mind-sets: imagination, color, and design thinking are examples that
represent designers; and analytical, data driven, and managerial are
examples that represent marketers. What can you do to incorporate
both of these mindsets and get these professionals to interact, not
only with your booth, but with each other as well?
As you’re thinking about how to best use your exhibit space, check out
what past sponsors have done in our sponsor video. Feel free to contact
our team to brainstorm some great ideas that fit with your brand and the
High Five audience. Remember, the best way not to be overshadowed by
your neighboring exhibitor is to be the most engaging exhibit at the show.
Here are two companies that have set the bar for interactive exhibits:
Brand Fuel and Three Post.
